[OKDXA] CW as a 'Lid Filter'

[SGTOKIE at aol.com]

that CW lid filter dosent work too good on 20m and 75m.  

i have meet some good ops on 6m, 2m & 70cm cw, digital & ssb.......the place 
where "NO CODE TECHS" operate. some of the worst and filthy mouthed ops have 
been the guys on 75m & 20m phone (amateurs who have apparently passed the CW 
test). 

im sure most of us dont really care if a contact has passed the CW test or 
not when were working for multipliers. 

when i was a "NO CODE TECH" my 3rd contact ever was a CW contact with an XE2 
station on 6m. he was patient and did not care if i had passed my code test or 
not.

I for one will not care if my DX contacts or stateside contacts have passed 
the CW test or not. I didn't have to take a PSK, RTTY or SSTV test to work 
these modes. I try to be professional and proficient in any mode i use.

Im here to enjoy and learn from ham radio and some day pass on my knowledge 
and experience to a "NO CODE TECH".
